Here are all of the beer label approvals since my last update (mid-January). I'm not sure when these beers are being released, so check with the brewery before you go out looking for them!

902 Brewing: 902 Brewing's American Pale Ale called Pale Ale True Hobo (PATH) received keg approval. It is clearly stated on the keg that the beer is brewed at Climax Brewing for 902 Brewing. It is 37 IBUs (from their website, ABV between 5-6%). 902 Brewing also had keg approval for Heaven Hell or Hobo, their American IPA. According to the label, it is 68 IBUs (from their website, 6.5% ABV).

Cape May Brewing: Cape May Brewing had a new bottled label approved, which you can see the label for below. It is for Apple Bomb, and comes in at 8.0% ABV. Cape May also saw keg label approval for Hitching Post Stout.

Carton Brewing: Carton saw their keg label for Orange Swisher approved. Check out the Orange Swisher video from I Drink Good Beer.

Flying Fish Brewing: Here's an interesting large formation bottle to be released from Flying Fish. Pescado Rojo Grande is Flying Fish's Red Fish aged in oak barrels that once held Cuervo Traditional 100% Agave tequila. It's going to come in at 9.0% ABV.

Hey everyone......here are some bottled beer labels from the great state of NJ that recently gained approval.

First, we have another canned beer from Carton Brewing. It looks like they plan on canning up HopPun, a pale ale, at some point in the future.

The folks at River Horse had two recent approvals. They're for Chocolate Porter and Oatmeal Milk Stout Aged in Whiskey Barrels. Chocolate Porter will be released in February as part of their seasonal lineup. The new label for the Oatmeal Milk Stout Aged in Whiskey Barrels differs from the recently released Oatmeal Milk Stout Aged in Bourbon Barrels, as bourbon is a type of whiskey. For more info on comparing bourbon vs. whiskey, check out this link at The Whisky Isle.

Finally, we have the bottle label for Cape May IPA from Cape May Brewing Company. It's always good to see more bottles coming out of Cape May. Hopefully we can see more of it up in North Jersey more. If not, there will always be something special to look forward to down in Cape May.

Brewed to the style of an American Barleywine (think bitter hops, over the top malts and an alcohol by volume over 10%), Cassiopeia can be found in 12 oz. bottles at the Weyerbacher Visitor's Center (while supplies last) and has limited availability in kegs at bars where Weyerbacher is served.

Weyerbacher Brewers' Select Cassiopeia, an American Barleywine

If you haven't read the rest of my series on Weyerbacher's Brewers' Select beers, then this is where I take a quick look at the constellation that Weyerbacher has chosen for their latest Brewers' Select. Here's some info on the Northern Hemisphere constellation Cassiopeia.

Hey everyone! This week we finally see some labels for the new Little Dog Brewing Co., opening soon in Neptune City, NJ! We also see two more mead labels from Melovino Meadery (Vauxhall, NJ), as well as a keg label from Belford Brewing and a keg label from Spellbound Brewing (Mt. Holly, NJ). Cheers!

Howdy all! It's been a few weeks since I've sent out an update on new NJ beers coming to the market. This week, we also have meads! Check em all out, and enjoy!

First, we have two meads from newly opened Melovino Meadery in Vauxhall, NJ. Melo Evil is a sweet honey wine with ghost peppers added, and it comes in at 12% ABV. Pirum Lust is a 13% ABV honey wine that is made with spiced pear juice, and is meant to be consumed during the cooler months.

From Cherry Hill, we see the label for Forgotten Boardwalk Brewing's Funnel Cake Boardwalk Ale.

Last, but not least, New Jersey Beer Co. had a label approved for Little Town New Jersey Ale. I wasn't able to get an image, but it's a typical keg label. Looks like they will be making a house beer for Little Town, a restaurant in Hoboken.

Canis Minor, a Brewers' Select beer from Weyerbacher, was released on draft throughout Weyerbacher's distribution footprint around a month ago (early September). It is also available in 12 oz. bottles in Weyerbacher's visitor center while supplies last!

Weyerbacher had previously used the NATO phonetic alphabet to name their Brewers' Select beers. After reaching the end of the alphabet, they decided to start using Northern Hemisphere constellations (in alphabetical order, of course), to represent their one-off beers.

Why not learn a little astronomy while enjoying some (hopefully) fantastic beer? Here are some facts about the Canis Minor constellation, followed by some notes on the Canis Minor beer!

The tasting notes from Weyerbacher were pretty close to my experience with Canis Minor. The aroma and flavor were full of citrus: orange, grapefruit, lemon. A bit of spice, yet not too much to be overpowering. Perhaps a little soapy. Overall, Canis Minor was terrific. It is not one of your funky saisons, but its still worth a pint if you see it at the bar. I would pair it with a light salad and sushi.
